Lake District is beautiful and scenic. Our guide, Jerry, was very pleasant and kind. He offered us thorough information about the history of the area. I was very much looking forward to the tour of Castlerigg stone circle but it had been removed from the tour since the time I had booked my trip. In spite of this, I recommend this journey.

It was a beautiful place to visit and Lee was so knowledgeable and passionate and I was just happy to see someone doing what they clearly love. The tour was great, a good balance of alone time and group time and I feel like I saw a lot of the towns, and the crazy roads which was a lot of fun and the beautiful scenery. 10/10 DJ Lee thank yooou

Full description

The tour departs from Liverpool and drives out of the city heading north to connect to the M6 Motorway. Listen to a partially narrated journey as we head to Bowness on Windermere for our first views of one of the many Lakes that give this area its name. You will have the opportunity to hop on one of Windermere's boats (at own cost - but ticket from driver/guide) on a one way journey to Ambleside.

On a pleasant day, use your time to shop for a picnic that we can have when we are in the open air of the Langdales. On colder, more overcast days, you can take lunch at Ambleside in one of the many eateries.

On to the Langdales, we travel through Little Langdale to Blea Tarn where we spend time exploring the area. At the end of our walk, we head out through Great Langdale and on to the picturesque village of Grasmere.

The final stop of the day, you can wander around and see why it has been voted England's most beautiful village on a number of occasions. You may wonder what that delicious aroma is and follw the scent to the Grasmere Gingerbread Shop like so may travellers who have been here before you!

Our guide Shelly knew a lot about the area. She drove really well, which made the journey even more comfortable. The car had a great atmosphere overall. Shelly was a real help when it came to managing our time at each stop, which meant we got a pretty good experience at Ambleside and Grasmere.
